The speed of sound at sea level is normally about 340 m/s. A stationary fire alarm has a frequency of 15,000 Hz. An observer run

ning towards the fire alarm hears a frequency of 15,300 Hz. What is the velocity of the observer?

Answer:

The velocity of the observer is 6.8 m/s

Explanation:

Doppler effect equation is given by the formula:

f'=\frac{v+v_o}{v-v_s} f\\\\where\ f'\ is \ the\ observed \ frequency=15300\ Hz,v_o\ is\ the\ velocity\ of\ the\ observer,\\v_s\ is\ the\ velocity\ of \ source=0,v\ is\ the\ velocity\ of\ sound=340\ m/s\ and\ f\ is\ actual\\frequency=15000\ Hz.\\\\substituting:\\\\15300=15000(\frac{340+v_o}{340} )\\\\340+v_o=346.8\\\\v_o=6.8\ m/sThe velocity of the observer is 6.8 m/s

It would be really helpful if u help me solving this question. PLEASE!!!
sweet [91]

Answer: The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

The room temperature will be the point at which the themometric substance remains constant when rising from ice point.

Explanation:

Apparatus available:

Unmarked thermometer

250 cm3 glass beaker

crushed ice 

water

heatproof mat 

clamp, boss and stand

meter rule

Added apparatus

Bunsen burner

Stirrer

Method

The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

Procedures

Set up the apparatus of illustrated in the attached figure.

Immerse the unmarked thermometer into the ice in the beaker.

When the level indicated by the thermometric substance remains steady after some time, a mark will be made at that point. This mark will corresponds to the ice point (lower fixed point) and is assigned the value of 0 °C.

You may add little water and continue to stir gently.

The themometric substance will start to rise and stop when it reaches room temperature. Mark the point but do not assign any value

Place the beaker on bunsen burner and boil the water. The themometric substance will continue to rise and remain constant at upper fixed point

This mark will corresponds to the steam point (upper fixed point) and is assigned the value of 100 °C.

Divide between the lower fixed point and upper fixed point into equal intervals. Then you can see the value of room temperature.

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
masya89 [10]

Answer:

When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Explanation:

option ( D )correct

A force is said to be conservative when the work done by the force in moving a particle from a point A to a point B is independent of the path followed between A and B and is the same for all the paths. The work done depends only on the particles initial and final positions. And when the initial and final position in conservative field are same the work done is said to be zero.

Debbie places two shopping carts in a cart Corral. she pushes the first cart, which then pushes a second cart. what force is bei
Bingel [31]

When Debbie pushes the first cart she is using an applied force. An applied force is created when someone or something pushes another thing using, of course, an applied force. Now, when the second cart is being pushed by the first cart, this is also an applied force. You can tell because the first cart is being pushed using forced and this causes the second cart to be pushed using some of the force that is being transmitted to the first cart.


Debbie exerts applied force on the first cart. The first cart exert applied force on the second cart.
